Too many Safari tabs? Apple may solve it with this new iOS 27 feature

HIGHLIGHTS

Safari may soon get an “Organise Tabs” option that automatically sorts tabs by category using AI.

The feature is reportedly being tested for iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27 ahead of WWDC 2026.

Apple could bring a smarter version of tab management already seen on browsers like Google Chrome.

Apple is said to be testing a new AI backed Safari feature which may make managing dozens of browser tabs much easier across iPhone, iPad and Mac devices. As per the reports, the company is developing an automatic tab grouping system for Safari in iOS 27, iPadOS 27 and macOS 27. The feature is said to intelligently organise open tabs into different categories based on browsing activity, helping users reduce clutter and navigate through tabs more efficiently.

The upcoming feature is reportedly being tested within Safari’s current Tab Groups section. Users may see a new Organise Tabs button, which can manually or automatically sort tabs into topic-based groups. Tabs related to travel planning, shopping, work, recipes, or entertainment, for example, can be separated into dedicated collections without users having to organise them individually.

While Apple has not officially labelled the feature as Apple Intelligence, reports suggest it will use AI-based analysis to understand browsing patterns and tab content. Safari already supports Tab Groups, but the current version requires you to manually create and manage them.

This could be unveiled at WWDC 2026, when the company will announce iOS 27, macOS 27, and other major software updates. According to reports, Apple is also working on improving Siri, AI-powered editing tools, and interface refinements throughout its ecosystem.

The automatic tab organisation feature may be useful for users who frequently have a large number of tabs open across multiple devices. Interestingly, the feature has been available on Google Chrome for some time, and Apple appears to be preparing to introduce AI-focused Safari.

Apple has not confirmed the feature at this time, but according to Bloomberg, it is being tested and, if successful, will debut with the stable release of iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 later this year.
